Sample Dialogue for Dread Pirate Booty - extracts from the Game Design Document

Underland will use a significant amount of spoken dialogue, or voice over (VO).  Arguably more than Fallout 4 because the last thing we want is our own Preston informing the player that another wretched settlement needs their help.

We'll also be using a CMS to frequently update the game to keep dialogue fresh.

Here's a brief sample of some of the dialogue as it currently stands (this post will be expanded in the future).

"I mets this pirate once, claims he was an assassin from an ancient order.  What a load of bullfish.  He knew some lovely songs though." - (tongue-in-cheek reference to Black Flag)

"Ayes gonna open ye up!" - (said to both chests and notable enemies)

"What treasures have ye hidden in ye chest!" - (said only to notable enemies)

"Aaarr Polly, never have I seen such a sight. 'Cept fer ye on ye wedding night!" - (said when finding notable treasure or locations)

"Aaarr Pol, almost as pretty as ye!" - (said when finding fine treasure)

"Shiver me timbers, Pol.  Absolutely no idea what it means, but shiver 'em anyways."
